South Africa hosted FIFA 2010 World Cup and they were ranked 83. They didn't even need to qualify for being the hosts.
And here we are, one of the top 10 teams and hosts. We need to qualify? Trust me, NOT HAPPENING.Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Opera Mobile)

Instead of helping them develop their cricket by doing that, we should beat their *** everytime we face them in a tournament. That should do it.

That one WC win over us really got to their heads.

Did he post any fake news ? This news has been posted few other official sites too. Why this hate on the OP ? If you are furious about this news then hate those double mouthed ICC guys. They are changing their minds every now and then.

Need to be in the top 2... so that means the fight is on with Afghanistan and Ireland

Well We need to show how good we are this time. We need to see this as an opportunity to shut the critics up and gain some momentum before the main event rather than a setback. If fear is the first thought that runs through a cricketer's mind than he truely should not be representing bangladesh cricket team because we are talking about associate teams here not South Africa and Australia.

if we had to qualify for the 2015 ODI world cup then its understandable

exactly

In FIFA WC, all teams, even Spain/France have to qualify while hosts Brazil dont have to play a single match. Heck, even a weak team like south africa needed nothing.

On the other hand, here we are seeing the hosts nations having to qualify and in a scenario where its quite likely that we may not make it the main round. Only 2 teams will qualify from 8 odd teams and dont forget that in T20s anyone can be favourites.

Exactly. We have heard enough excuses over the last decade. It's time to step up and perform in an ICC tournament. We need to be able to crush these associate teams and aim for at least the semifinals of the main tournament which is being held in our home condition.

Reading the comments from the players, they seem to already be pissing their pants at the prospect of losing to associates and not making it to the WC. If this is the attitude, we should just quit playing cricket. Sad.Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Blackberry)

While I understand that we must have the capability to beat the rest of the five teams, I still don't get why we will have to play the qualifiers of a tournament being staged in Bangladesh. I mean, seriously, does losing against a team or two in the qualifiers really imply that we will not be able to beat any of the G8 teams or to put it in a better way, do better than a few of the G8 teams?

What part of 'HOST' doesn't the ICC understand? I already feel as if we don't have the Test status. We are an associate Nation.

Whatever others may say here, this is clear injustice and a direct hit at our reputation. Would Australia be playing the qualifiers if they were ranked 9 now? (Which they were, just a year back)

well said. If for say India were hosting the tournament and Bangladesh were made to enter the qualifiers then I would have no complains. But why is it that ourselves being hosts are made to play the qualifiers.

Although we are expected to win the qualifiers, there is every chance that we have a bad day and cannot top our group where there are 4 teams, among which only the group champs will be selected. If Bangladesh do not play in the main round then I am pretty sure that the crowd will lose interest in the entire tournament, not just because Bangladesh isnt play but rather that our team was made to play the qualifiers.

ICC is indeed treating us like an associate nation. They give so few tours to us and now this. One does not need to be a genius to understand that stupid ICC is going to take the game down and absolutely destroy it. We will see oneday, that cricket is only played by Indians.
